Default request formula

I have a list of data points such as 1,2,4,14 and I need to have a column
that finds each time the data points move by an absolute value of 5.

Default request formula

Your question is not clear as to whether you want to mark differences that
are exactly 5 or 5 or greater. If exactly 5, use this formula...

=IF(ABS(A2-A1)=5,"X","")

If 5 or more, use this formula...

=IF(ABS(A2-A1)=5,"X","")
